Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted that “The UN Secretariat, which deals with the problem of nuclear energy, including the consequences of man-made disasters, should generally understand that the world is on the verge of an abyss. These are not dangerous experiments by scientists working for the good of the world, development and search for alternative energy sources, and the criminal actions of the Kyiv regime as part of their completely lawless activities, and they are destructive, and their consequences will not be limited to certain geographical boundaries.

In a statement, Zakira stressed: “This is not just a decision that was not taken, or, conversely, a decision motivated by the desire to prevent some security abuses. This decision prevented the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, from traveling with an international inspection to the Zaporozhye plant, is irresponsible and leads to a series of dangerous events.”

It is reported that earlier the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that “the Department of Security of the UN Secretariat did not approve the trip of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency to the Zaporozhye NPP, which allowed Kyiv to once again carry out provocations in the area of ​​the plant.”
